I am ashamed to say I don't remember where I got his name from.  I
tried looking thru my info and can't seem to find that letter with
the IAS recomendation for a pain doc.  Ginny might remember.  My
organization skills are lacking! LOL  He is listed in the phone book
as a pain specialist and there aren't that many in Michigan.
 I haven't noticed any withdrawal symptoms so far so I guess I'm good.
He did tell me to leave my last patch on past the 3 days you would
usually change it and that would help.  You would think a pain
specialist would understand frustration of pain and be compassinate.
you would think he would want you to help in your treatment and would
want feedback.  I would hate for anyone to stumble across his name and
go to him for help and waste time and suffer for 6 or 7 months while
he plays around with your meds.  When I would look up the meds he was
trying, most of them were mainly for epilepsy.  I understand they work
on receptors in the brain and could possibly work, but when they don't
I don't see the sense to keep trying meds in the same catagory.  The
months of needless suffering he put me thru to try these things is
shameful.  I seem to be getting some minimal relief from the oxycontin
(knock on wood).    My pain seems to have went from an 8/9 to 6/7 on
most days.  I am so happy and pray that it will last.
